Neighbours

Salaam,

Yesterday, i found a luscious banoffee pie in the fridge. I found out it was from our lovely neighbours. The text message said "it's for all of you".

Praise be to Allah! What a kindly gesture, the bounties of Allah, you get them in the weirdest ways and times you never expected.

"Allah will find a way out out for those who are mindful of Him, and will provide them from an unexpected source; Allah will be mindful for those who put their trust in Him. Allah achieves His purpose; Allah has set a due measure for everything. (At-Talaq ,65:2-3)

A bit off on a tangent there, anyways, this kind gesture goes very well in line with the traditions of Rasulullah SAW,

Abu Hurayrah reported that Rasulullah SAW said : "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should either say good things or be silent and be kind to his neighbours and hospitable to his guests"[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Rasulullah SAW also said to his companions 3 times, "By Allah, he does not believe!" They asked him, "Who is that, O Rasulullah?" He replied, "The person whose neighbour does not feel safe from his harm" [al-Bukhari].


True isn't it, how do we expect our society to run smoothly.Unkindness to neighbours breeds hatred and unwillingness to share in one's bounties breeds jealousy.

Rasulullah SAW further emphasised the importance of looking after neighbours sying, "Jibreel continued to advise me about neighbours until i thought he would make them my heirs"[narrated by Aishah& Ibn Umar[al-Bukhari]]

Because of that, the Rasulullah SAW said,"if you cook broth, use plenty of water, visit a family in your neighbourhood and pour some for them."

MashaAllah, isn't it beautiful?

Jazakumallah Khair guys for the banoffee

Preace to the whole wide world
